Can some one suggest me a better keyboard that I can consider for nice typing experience from these lists 1. Razer Huntsman V2 -Analog 2. Razer Huntsman V2 3. RAZER BLACKWIDOW V3 PRO 4. Razer Ornata V2

I'd consider Huntsman V2 (Red optical switches are really nice) and BlackWidows V3 Pro.

what is the difference between Purple and Red Optical Switch? I like little Clicky as I am using Ornate Chroma and have some Clicky sound while typing Does the Red Switch is completely silent ?

Purple is clicky, and has 1.5mm actuation point, Red is silent, lineal with 1.2mm actuation point. It's not "completely" silent, because there is always sound for eg. when bottoming key out, but there's no "click" as in the Purple optical or Razer Green mechanical switches.

How many devices it can connect on Bluetooth mode? Is it capable of connecting multiple devices ?

3 Bluetooth devices can be connected and switched using the shortcuts. On my Blackwidow V3 Pro switching between Bluetooth devices works nicely and fast

That is awesome. I need the same feature and speed. Can you tell me what kind of Switch you are using either Green or Yellow and your experience on that ? Also if possible do you mind to tell me the length and width of the keyboard including the Wrist Rest. Just wanted to compare with my current Ornata Chroma keyboard

I got yellows which are supposed to be linear and silent. They are nice, but they are not silent. You definitely can hear each press even if try to be as calm when typing as possible. So, let's say usual switches when it comes to the noise level. Yet, typing is nice and pleasant, usage for games is also fine for me. Honestly, when selecting the type of switches I went for the yellow priced at 160 EUR versus 250 EUR for the green on the same BW V3 Pro. But I am happy, "silent" ones were cheaper (: Cannot imagine how loud is the green. The keyboard is ~45 cm * 15.7 cm (23.2 cm with the wrist rest).

Ahh Make sense. In US the price is $179 for both which is equal to 155 EUR

Just now learning about mechanical keyboards and switches. Watched some vids about Cherry MX switch comparisons but I don't see comparable colors in Razer's lineup. I LOVE my Razer mouse and want to stay with the brand. I'm interested in a full-size TACTILE keyboard; Cherry colors brown, clear and gray. Can anyone point me to comparable colors within the Razer universe? All I'm seeing is green, yellow and black. I'm fairly certain that green and black are NOT what I want but I've never heard of Yellow.

Razer has mechanical Orange switches which are tactile and silent (https://www.razer.com/razer-mechanical-switches) Mechanical yellow and optical red (https://www.razer.com/razer-optical-switch) are linear Mechanical green and optical purple - clicky So for tactile, probably something with Orange switches should be suitable, but they are rare and I found only Pro Type which is a full-sized keyboard with such switches (https://www.razer.com/shop/keyboards/gaming-keyboards?query=:newest:category:keyboards-keyboards:keyboard-keyboard-switches:Orange%2BMechanical). There are also 3 other smaller keyboards

I am currently using Ornata keyboard having Mecha Membrane Clicky. I like the Clicky sound of this keyboard and I use the keyboard mainly for typing and I don't do gaming I had an experience with Gateron Brown switch where the keys are very smooth and silent but I make mistakes while typing as I am not feeling the keys are touched. In such case which Razer switch will be suitable for me. Does the Classic Green Switches work for me better? If I choose the Red Optical Switch Gen-2 will it be same effect as having the Gateron Brown Switch ?

Thank you for your help. It appears that the Orange switch is going to be best for me.
